"The Encounter" online review


How does one find a home in SeanPaulMurphyville?  Easy, post something nice about Sean Paul Murphy.

This online review by Zack Lawrence is mostly positive.  However, I decided to repost it here because of something he said he didn't like about the film.

The one thing Lawrence hated about the film was the name of the our Devil character, Officer Deville.  He thought it was very heavy-handed to give him the name Deville.  Then, we made matters worse by having a character spell out the name later (D-e-v-i-l, hey!)  in case someone incredibly dense missed it.  He thought it was somewhat insulting to the audience.

I couldn't agree more.

I just want to say that Tim and I did not name the character Deville.  Satan has been given so many names over the years by so many cultures that we had a wide field to choice from.  If there were sequels, we would use a different one in each film.

The character's name was changed on the set.

He is also named Deville in the sequel.  (In that script, he also had another name.)

He's still played by Kass Connors, and that's alright by me.

Still, despite that small quibble, go and see The Encounter.

My Premature Memorial Video

It has now been over a year since my life-altering near death experience.   Not only am I still alive, but I have also mostly recovered from a longterm and potentially fatal illness.  The video below is a product of those less certain times.

I often make little memorial tributes to my late relatives.  I posted my tribute to my father here on this blog.  When I was very sick, my wife encouraged me to recover by saying that no one would be able to make a memorial tribute to me.  So I made one for myself.  Just in case....

My wife thinks it is too glib.  But here it is:
